This video is giving the credit to the masters of art and craft who are barely ever mentioned but proved to be irreplaceable ! Well done !

[@alexp3752]

That's always been my observation. The artisans who can produce such amazing machines are irreplaceable. Often times, their skills are passed down from generation to generation.

[@josuahm.3040]

Man, do you know what is pure gold? That camera close looks and panning in this channel's videos, that's pure gold (Please, try to do one in 1440p 60fps)

[@SCRNSH0T]

That’s specific, then go for 4K 60, that’s just as feasible and not hard to do anymore.

[@varunu4176]

Exactly, the zoom shots suffer from the lower fps in some of the videos. Higher resolution would look really gorgeous.

[@Robstrap]

Because its a watch selling company. You think they make these videos to tell you to not buy the watch. They're basically flashy advertisements

[@TheDrastogi]

@@Robstrap Not deny that at all. My comment is on the way the videos are made and the stories behind the watches. I've been a watch enthusiast before I discovered Watchfinder, so these videos just add to the pleasure of it. They're selling watches, more power to them. Do you feel the same when you see any ads? Do you react this way when you see a Nike ad (assuming you are a sneaker enthusiast). I'm just appreciating the art, not bothered by the commercial aspects of it. These videos are way, way, way, way, way better than all other "soft promotional" material on any item out there...

[@alexp3752]

@@Robstrap Not exactly true if you are a watch enthusiast...

[@alexp3752]

@@TheDrastogi Wonderful comment... Like any long time watch enthusiast knows, it's what goes behind the scenes (and behind the watch face) that makes the topic so interesting and engaging. Anyone who works with his hands, like a surgeon, dentist or artisan, can readily appreciate the skill, dedication and work required to create these marvelous micro-machines. Watches of this caliber really don't need to advertise, their reputations and word of mouth does a sufficient job,

[@DjRjSolarStar]

Very nice...as a machinist and knife maker I can really appreciate this level of craftsmanship. My best knife, sold to my closest friend for material cost only, took me around 100 hours to make. Such things really are a labor of love and are imparted with a soul by the craftsman in a way machines cannot. Let's not let the craftsman become an arcane profession! Please support hand made industries as much as you can.

[@TheOne1Red]

Thank you for finally featuring a ladies watch! Would love to see more videos like this - not just about the aesthetics and craftsmanship, but also highlighting quality automatic movements. As a woman, I have always struggled to find a watch that isn’t super delicate or all bling and show in the non-quartz space. I haven’t found one yet that speaks to me... I think that’s why I ended up with a Superocean 36.

The blue dial and diamond bezel is my pick, absolutely stunning!

[@barrydavis7068]

Our ladies deserve something beautiful too...and those are stunning. Even though the prices weren't mentioned, I'm sure I can't afford one. 😔

[@AlessandroGenTLe]

They're not as bad as you may think: www.chrono24.com/piaget/classico-lady--watch--9821--id13128525.htm I thought we were speaking of tens of thousands, and instead a watch with a gold bracelet like the ones at the end of the video is around 5k

[@barrydavis7068]

@@AlessandroGenTLe That price really surprised me even for a pre-owned. Wish I could see it in person. Just looked their website and the watch is roughly 50 yrs old which is somewhat of a turn-off.

[@KoolKyurem25]

I would love to have a nice quality mens' watch with one of those stunning piaget bracelets. I love artistry and those bracelets are just magnificent examples of what it takes to have good eyes and hands.

[@magsos6152]

leave it to invicta to make one out of an anchor chain from the USS Iowa

[@watchnerds]

There are. And quite affordable as well. These are mostly modern one with in-house quartz movement from piaget. The 70s ones are bigger mostly, and powered with automatic 12p movements if I recall. There are onyx, turquoise, white opal, black opal dials and more, with any shape that you want. And quite affordable for a gold watch from Swiss, compared to similarly made watches by patek or AP. Check out your online store.

GS owner: „look at the finishing of my hour markers“. Piaget owner: „cute, there was a time I liked fast-food, too!“.

[@enriqueali]

GS: leaves things unadorned for hand-polished perfection to shine bright. Piaget: piles detail upon fussy detail to hide hand-finished imperfections under multi-textured gleaming and glistening surface distractions

[@abdalvalencia]

So true

[@SimulatorWhiz]

[@Feynman981]

@@enriqueali I learned hand-polishing myself a whila ago. The cheapest thing you can do is polishing geometrical shapes. You can always control your work under a special lamp and a glass control shape checking the interference pattern of light. This is a very technical approach, but ultimately can be learned bby quite a lot of people. Producing the same uniform quality every time. That's what makes GS so cheap, it's only easy-to-repeat forms. Same as fast-food. Now try to do the same as Piaget does. No geometrical patterns, no interference light control. Everything is done completely by hand and checked using only decade long experience. It's a true masters craft.

[@fastman119]

This was fascinating - I never would've thought twice about these Piaget lady's pieces before, but as always there's more than meets the eye in an area that, for me, is typically an afterthought. I think due to the perfection of finishing the bracelets are deceptively refined. Love love love as always!

[@alexp3752]

Give it time. Save your money and take your time to find the perfect timepiece for you. It is not so much an expense, but an investment in yourself. Remember, a fine watch is perhaps the only personal artifact a man can buy for himself he can use and treasure throughout his entire life. Houses, cars, clothes, electronics, jobs and even relationships come and go, a fine watch remains.

Well this is what one calls as mind blowing. After watching this video my respect for the art and engineering of mechanical watchmaking has increased to infinity. People who always complaint about mechanical watches being nothing but inaccurate watches made of old technology, precious metals and costing a fortune should watch your videos as you know why it is just not that. We watch enthusiast love mechanical watches not because they cost a lot of money or are a status symbol ( well for some they are but not everyone) but because it is an old art form that is still relevant even though better more advanced technology exists. We love it because it's one of the few things that represents hardwork, skill, patience of the highest value in human craftsmanship that one can actually carry with them all the time and appreciate.

This is why watch guys suck. They see a ladies watch (or brand that is known for making ladies' watches) and they immediately think that it's going to suck. Sure they might not be the kind of watch that you like, but there is almost always something to appreciate. Piaget makes some of the coolest, most interesting and fun watches I've ever seen! Things like the magic hour ladies watch, ALL of the watches pictured here, the altiplano series, I mean, come on. I won't bring up the polo, because, while it's their sports watch, the watches listed prior are arguably more interesting. So let's stop writing off ladies watches.

[@justinmuir7562]

Hate to be that guy, but chainmail was never conceived as an alternative to plate. :P it came into use more than a hundred years before the advent of full plate. (Though remained in use afterwards due to the fact it was cheaper, not because it was more advantageous.) Full plate is also far lighter than people suspect, weighing almost exactly the same ammount as a modern solders kit. It was also far more articulated and less restricting than what popular culture suggests. Great video though! Piaget is truly remarkable! Sorry, I've spent way too much time researching this sort of stuff!
